Bloody Beetroots: one of his songs is in Tom Morello’s musical
The song “Keep Going” by Bloody Beetroots and Tom Morello enters the world of theater. The track, born from the collaboration between the internationally renowned Italian artist Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, the man under the Bloody Beetroots mask, and the legendary guitarist of Rage Against the Machineis part of the soundtrack of “REVOLUTION(S)”, the new musical show signed by Morello and on stage at the Goodman Theater in Chicago until November 16th. The show, described as a “radical musical”fuses rock, hip hop and punk energy to tell stories of struggleresistance and social transformation, bringing into theatre the language of the street and music with a political impact.
“I’m proud” Sir Bob wrote on social media, underlining how this is probably the first time that one of his songs has entered a theater production. An important stage, which marks a further step in the career of an artist accustomed to moving between clubs, festivals and film productions, but now capable of extending his language to the theater scene too. The show “REVOLUTION(S)”, written by Zayd Ayers Dohrn with music and lyrics by Tom Morello, also includes names such as Killer Mike, Big Boi, Ben Harper and Grandsoncreating a mix of voices and styles that reflect the power of a collective artistic movement.
For Bloody Beeroots, this collaboration represents the continuation of a path shared with Morello already consolidated in 2021 with the EP “The Catastrophists”, where “Keep Going” was one of the symbolic songs: a hymn of resistance and personal strength, now re-proposed in a completely new context. See a piece born in the world of electronics and rock crossover living on the stage of one of the most prestigious theaters in the United States is a sign of how the barriers between genres and artistic languages continue to dissolve. The energy of Bloody Beetroots and the political and musical vision of Tom Morello thus find new common ground, where music and theater become instruments of “cultural revolution”.
